Summer Camps and Maker Spaces: Creative PD for New Teacher Skills
It’s an exciting time to be providing professional development for adult educators. With new technology come new ways of teaching, new skills teachers need, and new ways to deliver PD. Hear about how World Education is engaging teachers through service learning opportunities and collaborative design challenges. In summer camps (like CampGPT) and EdTech Maker Spaces, teachers learn how to create classroom-ready resources and explore emerging technology in a low stakes, fun environment, and in doing so, build a sense of belonging and community. We hope you can join us for this session of professional learning for professional developers!
